Stripe down the side looks a bit off. Should either be a side panel in green or missing altogether. Fairly "meh" effort, I'm not unhappy with it, but I think we could have done better.

Side stripe is one too many on already 5 too many. If the stripes ended immediately above the Lotus logo it would have been much much better.

I really like it, they had a hard job of following on from last years home kit, but this kit looks lovely

Not a particular fan of gloss material but I do like the design. Far better than stripes. Better than last seasons.

Dunno, I kinda like the "ladder" effect it produces with the thickness of the stripes in question. If anything, I'd argue the stripes should not go the whole way around the shirt and should just be sponsor width for balance, or maybe even a little shorter than that.

I think that's what grinds me a little - horizontal stripes around the whole shirt is pretty much as old as time and a bit more imagination in presenting them would have worked better for me.

[TheBaldOne66 697]

Yuk! It’s hideous 

[......and Smith must score. 1,355]

I know precisely zilch about fashion and have never bought a shirt but it seems last year’s effort set the bar pretty high.

On that basis this was always likely to be a bit disappointing.

[Mason 47 1,391]

My initial reaction was that it was terrible.

Having spent a bit of time looking at it, I think it's pretty good. Maybe a little low-energy but it probably wasn't possible to match last years without a full on Asics reimagining. 

Lots of people saying the yellow is too yellow which, coming from Norwich fans, is a baffling statement.

The only thing I'd change is the side stripe to yellow which would make everything look a bit more intentional. Big fan of the hoops going all the way around.

The  trend of downgrading on quality throughput the club continues 

[Robornio 107]

I wish the stripes continued across the sleeve and it didn’t have the vertical bar randomly on both sides. Something just doesn’t work for me… so will stick with last season’s shirt, until the next one. But at least the away kit looks good. No wonder they released it first!! 

[Hardhouse44 261]

Couldn't care less about the shirt. Its yellow and green that's our colours so does a job.

Much more concerned that we dont have the required standard if personal to fill said shirts.

Have heard on the grapevine from those seemingly in the know that its going to be a rather marmite kit that many won't like.

Could be nonsense mind as most of this comes from twitter and Facebook and lets be honest everyone seems to have a friend who's 'in the know..'

If it wasn't for Facebook and Twatter you wouldn't be able to start so many threads.

[TIL 1010 4,781]

At £55 it is a rip off.

[RugbyCanary 94]

It's a meh from me. Love the 'away' kit so that's what my daughter will be getting! 

[Pyro Pete 1,915]

Is this more what people were hoping for?

It'll be like watching this with my kids again...at least Fimbo seems happier than Barnes

Strange how that looks better than our real home kit 😶

[Ulfotto 641]

Why do we need a new kit? There was a new shirt last season if I am not mistaken. Are the two year cycles for kits a thing of the past.

We don't need a new kit but for as long as people buy the new kit and the club makes a profit there will be a new kit every season.

[yellow_belly 226]

It is just a bit meh.

Shame they didn’t just reverse the away kit.

Not awful, but not as good as last years effort. Better than the couple of kits before that.

That hasn't been in practice for years now although there is lobbying from the top clubs to bring it back. 

I don't see why they can't alternate the home/away kit releases each year, so each kit still lasts for 2 cycles but the club can realise a new kit each summer still.

23/24 = New home kit

24/25 = New away kit

25/26 = New home kit

etc...

[Canary dwarf 221]

It's absolutely horrendous one of the worst home kits ever , however the away kit is pretty cool so I think I'll be getting that one.just a question who is that modelling the away kit it looks just like Wes , is it Duffy?

Always look out for your comments when it comes to kits, good synopsis
